Serial pervert Gary Anderson was back behind bars again today after being caught with more child porn.

Serial pervert Gary Anderson was back behind bars again today after being caught with more child porn.

The disgraced teacher was jailed less than two years after being released from prison for distributing the filth.

Anderson, 37, changed his name from Simeon Hope when he was arrested last year for downloading and keeping 37 indecent pictures of children, who were visibly upset and scared by the hell they were going through.

Anderson, originally from Brandon, Co Durham, but now of Ilkeston, Derbyshire, was jailed for 18 months and banned from ever working with children or keeping a computer with internet access.

An extended licence period of four-and-a-half years upon release was also imposed by the judge at Derby Crown Court, who told Anderson: "The public and children need protection from you over a very long period."

Edward Barr, prosecuting, told the court Anderson bought a computer from a newspaper advert and asked a man to teach him more about computer technology.

But when the man found child porn on Anderson's computer he contacted police who raided the pervert's home in July last year and found 37 downloaded pictures.

Under police questioning Anderson told officers he visited the sites because he liked children.

He admitted 12 charges of making indecent pictures and asked for a further 25 pictures to be taken into consideration.

Another charge of possessing 102 images, which Anderson denied, will lie on file.

Anderson, a former Green Party election candidate, was sentenced to 18 months in prison at Durham Crown Court in 2000 for distributing child pornography and storing more than 51,000 indecent images on his computer.

At the time of his arrest he had daily contact with children through his work as a supply teacher.

When officers raided the house in Willington, Co Durham, Anderson shared with his wife they also found 69 child pornography videos and 800 photographs of young children.

He was placed on the sex offenders' register for 10 years, expelled from the Green Party, banned from supply teaching and his marriage ended.
